Printing & Paper Sorbents
Sorbents & Additives for Printing, Paper & 3D Printing
Discover specialty sorbents and mineral additives tailored for printing, paper production, and 3D printing applications. Our materials enhance ink absorption, moisture control, and coating uniformity in commercial printing and packaging, while high-performance carbon and mineral-based additives improve strength, flow, and finish in 3D printing resins and composites.
Applications & Benefits
-
Printing & coatings: Silica and clay additives improve ink holdout, gloss uniformity, and print clarity.
-
Paper production: Minerals such as kaolin and attapulgite control surface porosity and enhance brightness.
-
3D printing resins: Carbon and alumina additives improve mechanical stability, dispersion, and cure control.
-
Moisture regulation: Sorbents extend shelf life and dimensional stability for hygroscopic formulations.
Why Choose Sorbents Direct
-
Material versatility: Silicas, clays, carbons, and aluminas in tailored mesh sizes and morphologies.
-
Performance consistency: Uniform particle control for predictable dispersion and print surface finish.
-
R&D to production scale: Available in lab quantities, drums, and super sacks for pilot or commercial lines.
-
Technical support: Guidance on selecting media for resin blending, coating, or extrusion compatibility.
Example Application
A 3D printing resin manufacturer incorporated functionalized silica to improve pigment dispersion and reduce moisture sensitivity. The modification enhanced color uniformity and reduced micro-bubbling in cured parts, improving production yield by over 20%.
